Taco in a bag
Steel drum music
Jett and I volunteered to serve at a “taco in a bag” patio party recently. We had no idea what we had signed up for, but felt that we were due for some volunteer work. I guess I was expecting to hand out bag lunches from Taco Bell. But the reality was quite different.
To create a “taco in a bag” you first get a bag of Doritos. Not that tiny lunch-size bag, but the larger 99 cent bag. You cut it open on the long side, crush the chips, then load the bag with beef or chicken taco meat, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions and taco sauce. Hand the bag to the customer along with a plastic fork and a napkin and send him/her on his/her way. $5 for what turned out to be a pretty tasty light dinner. Beer for sale for $2.
We sold about 100 of these. All the time listening to steel drum music. A very pleasant volunteer experience.
Then we watched a piñata be destroyed. No one was injured and it turned out to be filled with candy bars and bags of peanuts. Dessert.
